Following your line of reasoning, Mick, Hitler and his inspection party here were only three feet tall ( a closely guarded secret). Nobody wanted to admit that the NAZI leadership were anything other than perfectly formed
examples of Nordic masculinity, and not built like Jimmy Clitheroe or Janette Krankie
This is actually a normal sized tank, but they created the 'Maus' myth around it'...to intimidate the enemy
Maus Pzkpfw V111..actually the size of a Panzer 111

Don't you think they'd all look great if they were all sporting scale feather dusters, instead of swagger sticks. I do ;)

You're so kinky, can tell you were government. . . .

After all those years of taking flak from our beloved whingeing 'I pay your wages' public, I can finally let my hair down :haha: . It's a lot whiter than it used to be, but still a fulsome 'freak flag' (Crosby Stills and Nash..) mop :wave:
It's also said that if you live in the Highlands, after six months you begin to talk to yourself. After a year, you strike up a conversation with the sheep (and no..we're not like the Welsh!). After 18 months, the sheep begin to reply..
In this messed up world, you might as well be dead without a sense of the absurd, and a sense of humour.

No, but I spent four days at the European Parliament offices in London being inducted into Endless reams of Euro-crap legislation :yawn: :yawn:

Oh well, I guess our paths wouldn't have crossed then
Paths? Probably not. Doctor Johnson once said (to piss Boswell off..): ".. “The noblest prospect which a Scotchman ever sees, is the high road that leads him to England!” Having spent decades working in that former English city
( I don't need to elaborate on 'Former'.. :shh: ), I can honestly say that the finest prospect for a Scot is the high road away from England (and especially London!)

and now for something completely different: a return to the topic. :thumbup:

Yes those figures are pretty unique. Thanks, Bill. :thumbup: I wonder whether the handkerchiefs around their faces were more to protect against the effects of sauerkraut, and pickled herring, in a confined space, than against sand and dust.. :eh: :haha:

I’ve never tried printing a figure before as my printer isn’t exactly top quality lol
As a proof of concept today I tried printing a model of Adolf, he’s 115mm high.
Overall the print quality came out far better than I expected, unfortunately the poor scale of the model makes his head look a tad small, plus he looks like he’s stood there waiting for a rectal exam....

I’m going to have a look around for what figures are available & give a few a go.
